Haha about eight or nine only actually, and I made myself put it down about twenty-four hours ago and haven't gone back since a.) so it'll sound fresh when I do and b.) because I'm finishing up my Vampire Weekend review and that album is just as good as this one (if not better honestly, no joke!) so I've been content with that.

Gonna do a run through of The National's discography this evening though haha. Fucking excellent way to spend one's Friday night.

I haven't checked out the Vampire Weekend record yet. I honestly haven't been a fan of them at all in the past, but I'll probably give this new one a listen due to that endorsement alone.

Do it man, it's the most ambitious pop album I've heard in a long time. Honestly while it does sound like their other stuff a bit it's not a ton like it. A lot of hardcore VW fans really hate it haha, but I think it's by far their best.

Adding to this just to say that it is their best record in my opinion, check it out.

As far as The National, I have never listened to a full album. Where should I start.

I'll definitely give it a listen.

Also, wall e, might as well start with this one and work your way back. That way, you can catch Trouble Will Find Me while it's a hot conversation topic and dig into the treasures of their back catalog as you let that sink in.
